Next, an example of processing by the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0028] (Example 1) A health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention employs AI to manage employee health. This health management system monitors long-term PC operation and analyzes the user's facial expression, viewpoint, complexion, and movement speed to prevent overwork and overtime, as well as manage health and risk. It also enables early detection of poor health and links with medical institutions. For example, the health management system monitors long-term PC operation. For example, if the PC is continuously running for more than a certain period of time, the AI ​​records the information. Next, the health management system uses a camera to capture the user's face, and the AI ​​analyzes the image to determine the user's facial expression and complexion. The AI ​​also analyzes the user's viewpoint and movement speed to determine the user's level of fatigue and physical condition. Furthermore, if the AI ​​determines that the user is highly fatigued, the health management system displays a message on the PC encouraging the user to take a break. It also enables early detection of poor health and links with medical institutions. For example, if the AI ​​detects that the user is in poor health, it can contact a medical institution. This allows the health management system to efficiently manage employee health, prevent overwork and overtime, and detect poor health early. This allows the health management system to efficiently manage employee health, prevent excessive work and overtime, and detect poor health at an early stage. For example, AI can detect a user's level of fatigue and encourage them to take a break, thereby maintaining employee health. In addition, early detection of poor health allows for smooth coordination with medical institutions and enables prompt response.

[0029] A health management system according to an embodiment includes a recording unit, a monitoring unit, an analysis unit, a management unit, and a linking unit. The recording unit records the operating time of a PC. The operating time of a PC includes, but is not limited to, the time the PC is turned on and the active working time. The recording unit records, for example, the operating time of the PC in minutes. The recording unit can also aggregate the operating time of the PC by day, week, or month. The monitoring unit analyzes the data recorded by the recording unit to monitor the long-term operation of the PC. The long-term operation includes, for example, criteria such as the number of consecutive hours of operation, but is not limited to, the examples. The monitoring unit issues an alert, for example, if the PC operates for four or more consecutive hours. The monitoring unit can also display a warning if the operating time of the PC exceeds eight hours per day. The analysis unit uses a camera to capture a user's face and uses AI to analyze the image to determine the user's facial expression and complexion. The facial expression includes, but is not limited to, classification methods for emotional expressions such as smiling, anger, and sadness. The analysis unit, for example, detects changes in the user's facial color and determines signs of poor health. The analysis unit can also grasp the user's level of fatigue and physical condition by analyzing the user's viewpoint and movement speed. The viewpoint can include, for example, but is not limited to, the direction of gaze and the duration of gaze. The management unit prevents overwork and overtime, manages health, and manages risks. Prevention of overwork can include, for example, but is not limited to, setting a maximum working hour limit and recommending breaks. For example, if the management unit determines that the user is highly fatigued, it can display a message on the PC encouraging the user to take a break. The management unit can also monitor the user's health status and issue a warning if an abnormality is detected. The collaboration unit collaborates with medical institutions to detect poor health early.

Furthermore, when the user is at home, the recording unit can also prioritize recording data related to health management. Furthermore, when the user is on a business trip, the recording unit can also prioritize recording data related to travel time and rest time. In this way, by taking the user's geographical location information into consideration, highly relevant data can be prioritized and recorded. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input the user's geographical location data to the generation AI and have the generation AI determine the priority of the data.

[0034] When recording the PC operating time, the recording unit can analyze the user's social media activity and record related data. For example, the recording unit can record the user's social media activity time and analyze the correlation with work efficiency. The recording unit can also analyze the content of the user's social media posts and record signs of stress or fatigue. The recording unit can also record the user's social media interaction time and analyze the correlation with break time. In this way, by analyzing the user's social media activity, related data can be recorded and work efficiency and signs of stress can be understood. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the recording unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input the user's social media data into a generation AI and have the generation AI perform an activity analysis.

[0035] When recording the PC's operating time, the recording unit can customize the recording method by reflecting the user's past feedback. For example, the recording unit customizes the type of data to be recorded based on feedback provided by the user in the past. The recording unit can also improve the recording method by taking into account problems pointed out by the user in the past. The recording unit can also analyze the user's past feedback and set an optimal recording frequency. This allows the recording method to be customized by reflecting the user's past feedback, enabling optimal data collection. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the recording unit can input the user's feedback data into a generation AI and have the generation AI customize the recording method.

[0036] When monitoring long-term PC operation, the monitoring unit can simultaneously monitor the user's work efficiency and productivity. For example, if the user continues working for a long time, the monitoring unit monitors for a decline in work efficiency. The monitoring unit can also tolerate long-term operation if the user maintains high productivity. The monitoring unit can also display a message encouraging the user to take a break if the user is unable to maintain work efficiency. In this way, by simultaneously monitoring the user's work efficiency and productivity, appropriate breaks and work adjustments can be made. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the user's work efficiency data into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform an efficiency analysis.

[0037] When monitoring the long-term operation of the PC, the monitoring unit can monitor how the user takes breaks and encourage the user to take appropriate breaks. For example, if the user has not taken a break for a certain period of time, the monitoring unit can display a message encouraging the user to take a break. Furthermore, if the user frequently takes short breaks, the monitoring unit can also encourage the user to take longer breaks. Furthermore, if the user is not able to relax during their breaks, the monitoring unit can suggest relaxation methods. In this way, by monitoring how the user takes breaks, appropriate breaks can be encouraged and health management can be achieved. Some or all of the above-described processing in the monitoring unit can be performed, for example, using AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the user's break time data into the generation AI and have the generation AI execute break suggestions.

[0038] The monitoring unit can monitor the user's health condition and detect abnormalities when monitoring long-term PC operation. For example, if the user's heart rate is abnormally high, the monitoring unit can display a message urging the user to take a break. If the user's blood pressure is abnormally low, the monitoring unit can also suggest collaboration with a medical institution. If the user's health condition is stable, the monitoring unit can continue normal monitoring. This makes it possible to monitor the user's health condition and detect abnormalities early and take appropriate action. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the monitoring unit can be performed using, for example, AI, or can be performed without using AI. For example, the monitoring unit can input the user's health data into the generation AI and have the generation AI detect abnormalities.

[0039] When analyzing facial expressions, gaze points, complexion, and movement speed, the analysis unit can improve the accuracy of the analysis by referring to the user's past data. The analysis unit, for example, refers to the user's past facial expression data and analyzes the user's current facial expression. The analysis unit can also refer to the user's past gaze point data and analyze the user's current gaze point. The analysis unit can also refer to the user's past movement speed data and analyze the user's current movement speed. By referring to the user's past data, the accuracy of the analysis can be improved, enabling more accurate analysis. Some or all of the above-described processing in the analysis unit may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI. For example, the analysis unit can input the user's past data into the generation AI and cause the generation AI to improve the accuracy of the analysis.

[0040] The analysis unit can analyze facial expressions, gaze, complexion, and movement speed based on the user's work content and environment when analyzing the facial expressions, gaze, complexion, and movement speed. For example, when the user is creating a document, the analysis unit analyzes the facial expressions taking into account the work content.

Step 5: Based on the data managed by the management unit, the collaboration unit collaborates with medical institutions to detect early signs of poor health. For example, if the collaboration unit detects that the user is in poor health, it contacts the medical institution and shares the health data.

[0059] (Example 2) A health management system according to an embodiment of the present invention employs AI to manage employee health. This health management system monitors long-term PC operation and analyzes the user's facial expression, viewpoint, complexion, and movement speed to prevent overwork and overtime, as well as manage health and risk. It also enables early detection of poor health and links with medical institutions. For example, the health management system monitors long-term PC operation. For example, if the PC is continuously running for more than a certain period of time, the AI ​​records the information. Next, the health management system uses a camera to capture the user's face, and the AI ​​analyzes the image to determine the user's facial expression and complexion. The AI ​​also analyzes the user's viewpoint and movement speed to determine the user's level of fatigue and physical condition. Furthermore, if the AI ​​determines that the user is highly fatigued, the health management system displays a message on the PC encouraging the user to take a break. It also enables early detection of poor health and links with medical institutions. For example, if the AI ​​detects that the user is in poor health, it can contact a medical institution. This allows the health management system to efficiently manage employee health, prevent overwork and overtime, and detect poor health early. This allows the health management system to efficiently manage employee health, prevent excessive work and overtime, and detect poor health at an early stage. For example, AI can detect a user's level of fatigue and encourage them to take a break, thereby maintaining employee health. In addition, early detection of poor health allows for smooth coordination with medical institutions and enables prompt response.

[0061] The recording unit can estimate the user's emotions and adjust the recording frequency of the PC's operating time based on the estimated user emotions. For example, when the user is stressed, the recording unit can increase the recording frequency to collect detailed data. Furthermore, when the user is relaxed, the recording unit can also reduce the recording frequency to collect the minimum necessary data. Furthermore, when the user is tired, the recording unit can set the recording frequency to a medium level to collect appropriate data. This allows for more appropriate data collection by adjusting the recording frequency based on the user's emotions. The emotion estimation is realized using an emotion estimation function, for example, using an emotion engine or a generation AI. The generation AI can be, but is not limited to, a text generation AI (e.g., LLM) or a multimodal generation AI. Some or all of the above-described processing in the recording unit can be performed using, for example, an AI, or without an AI. For example, the recording unit can input the user's facial expression data into the generation AI and have the generation AI perform emotion estimation.

[0062] When recording the PC's operating time, the recording unit can also simultaneously record the user's work content and application usage status. For example, the recording unit records the type of application used by the user and the usage time. The recording unit can also record the type of work the user is performing (word processing, programming, etc.).

[0144] The communication I / F 44 is connected to a network 54. The communication I / Fs 44 and 26 are responsible for the exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 via the network 54. The exchange of various information between the processor 46 and the processor 28 using the communication I / Fs 44 and 26 is carried out in a secure state.

[0145] The control object 443 includes a display device, LEDs in the eyes, and motors that drive the arms, hands, and feet. The posture and gestures of the robot 414 are controlled by controlling the motors of the arms, hands, and feet. Some of the emotions of the robot 414 can be expressed by controlling these motors. In addition, the facial expressions of the robot 414 can also be expressed by controlling the light emission state of the LEDs in the eyes of the robot 414.

[0146] Fig. 8 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the robot 414. As shown in Fig. 8, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0147] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

[0148] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0149] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0150] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

[0151] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0152] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AI other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0153] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0154] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0155] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0156] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0157] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.

[0158] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0159] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "reaction" domain, where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the "situation" domain, where situational awareness is dominant.

[0160] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0161] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.

[0162] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.

[0163] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[0164] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0165] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

[0166] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0167] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.

[0168] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[0169] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0170] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

[0171] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
